Loveland police are asking for help from the public to identify a suspect in a reported indecent exposure incident.

According to a news release from Loveland police, a 7-year-old was with a parent at the ARC store, 3131 N. Garfield Ave., around 3:10 p.m. on Sept. 18. When the child was separated from the parent inside the store, an older man reportedly walked up and exposed his genitals to the child.

The 7-year-old ran away from the male and told their parent, who reported the incident to police later that day.

The suspect is described as a white male in his 50s to 60s. He reportedly had gray hair, tan skin and no facial hair. He was wearing dark-colored shorts, dark-colored shirt and a baseball hat at the time.

On Wednesday, a composite sketch was completed by Loveland police officers based on the child's description of the suspect.

In the news release, the police department also encouraged parents to speak with their children about strangers and how to stay safe. Websites for parents to utilize as resources include thesafeside.com and kidpower.org.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact Detective Jeff Pyle at 962-2274.
